This package contains the Aster client tools for Windows.   Release numbering for all of the above will follow this convention: XX.YY.ZZ.nn where: XX is a major release YY is a minor release ZZ is a maintenance release nn is an efix or hotpatch We use this terminology: major release: Major releases of Aster typically introduce new features. minor release: Point releases of Aster typically provide feature enhancements and bug fixes. A point release may also introduce new features. maintenance release: Maintenance releases of Aster typically provide only bug fixes. They may also include feature enhancements. efix or hotpatch: Hotpatch releases are introduced to address customer issues of an urgent nature.   Example of efix application to major/minor releases: An efix is a fix for part of the product. It may not function by itself. E.g., the AIX 64-bit AC 6.00.00.02 efix only includes the following: ACT, ADFS client, JDBC driver, and Third party licenses. It doesn't include other drivers and utilities such as ODBC. If you would like to use the latest drivers and utilities for AC 6.0, you will need to follow these steps: Install AC 6.00.00.00 with all its drivers and utilities. Check the AC 6.00.00.0x README to see whether any additional packages are needed then follow the README to apply the efix.

The Teradata Debugger for Java UDF is a new feature of Teradata Database 16.0 and later designed to provide a full-featured, easy to use debugger for debugging UDFs and external stored procedures written in Java. It extends the abilities of the standard Eclipse Java IDE and addresses limitations of general debuggers, such as the inability to handle multiple, parallel JVM instances, a situation that is very common on Teradata Database systems.  Refer to the Installation Guide for instructions on installing JUDB Eclipse via the Eclipse Update Site process. You can either download the zip file, or use the Debugger URL (specified in the Installation Guide) in the install process. To ask questions or discuss issues with JUDB Eclipse, please use the Teradata Debugger Forum. Not recommended for use on production systems. Debugging directly on a production system could potentially affect the overall system performance and cause other issues. Teradata does not support issues caused by use on a production system.

IDE-14732    SmartLoad and FastLoad: add option to ignore null rows Hadoop Configuration Support: ============================= Teradata Studio provides an option to transfer data to and from Hadoop systems using its feature called the Smart Loader for Hadoop. The Smart Loader for Hadoop uses the Teradata Connector for Hadoop (TDCH), which is installed on the Hadoop node, to provide the data transfer to and from the Hadoop system. Teradata Studio requires TDCH version 1.5.1. The following are the system requirements of TDCH 1.5.1:     Supported Teradata Database versions:         Teradata Database 14.00         Teradata Database 14.10         Teradata Database 15.00     Teradata Database 15.10         Teradata Database 16.00     Supported Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) versions:         HDP 2.3 (Hadoop 2.7.1, Hive 1.2.1, HBase 1.1.1)         HDP 2.4 (Hadoop 2.7.1, Hive 1.2.1, HBase 1.1.2)         HDP 2.5 (Hadoop 2.7.3, Hive 1.2.1, HBase 1.1.2)     Supported Cloudera Hadoop (CDH) versions:            CDH 5.4, 5.7, 5.8 Teradata Connector for Hadoop Setup: ==================================== The TDCH 1.5.1 must be installed and configured on the Hadoop system. Teradata Plugin for Eclipse's Smart Loader for Hadoop uses Oozie to submit the data transfer workflow on the Hadoop System. Please follow these instructions to configure the Hadoop System and create the Oozie workflow files. 1) If the script is not already on your Hadoop system, download and install the TDCH (version 1.5.1) onto your Hadoop system. 2) Navigate to the TDCH scripts folder in the TDCH install directory (default location: /usr/lib/tdch/1.5/scripts) 3) Execute the configureOozie.sh script as root user, providing the locations of your Hadoop services.      The usage of the configureOozie.sh script is as follows (this is all a single line):     Usage: ./configureOozie.sh nn=nameNodeHost [nnHA=fs.default.value] [rm=resourceManagerHost] [oozie=oozieHost] [webhcat=webHCatalogHost] [webhdfs=webHDFSHost]         [nnPort=nameNodePortNum] [rmPort=resourceManagerPortNum] [ooziePort=ooziePortNum] [webhcatPort=webhcatPortNum] [webhdfsPort=webhdfsPortNum]         [hiveClientMetastorePort=hiveClientMetastorePortNum] [kerberosRealm=kerberosRealm] [hiveMetaStore=hiveMetaStoreHost]         [hiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal=hiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal] (The parameters are entered on a single line. The parameters surrounded by [ ] are optional. The “[“ and “]” are not part of the command.) (Note: the Job Tracker in HDP 1.x is now the Resource Manager in HDP 2.x)     nn - The Name Node host name (required)     nnHA - If the name node is HA (High Availability), specify the fs.defaultFS value found in core-site.xml     rm - The Resource Manager host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)     oozie - The Oozie host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)     webhcat - The WebHCatalog host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)     webhdfs - The WebHDFS host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)     nnPort - The Name node port number (8020 if omitted)     rmPort - The Resource Manager port number (8050 if omitted)     ooziePort - The Oozie port number (11000 if omitted)     webhcatPort - The WebHCatalog port number (50111 if omitted)     webhdfsPort - The WebHDFS port number (50070 if omitted)     hiveClientMetastorePort - The URI port for hive client to connect to metastore server (9083 if omitted)     kerberosRealm - name of the Kerberos realm     hiveMetaStore - The Hive Metastore host name (uses nn paarameter value if omitted)     hiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal - The service principal for the metastore thrift server (hive/_HOST if ommitted) The port numbers are HDP’s defaults. So, if the system being set up has all the services hosted on a single system on the default ports, only the nn parameter is needed. The script will exit with an error message if the TDCH is not in its expected location. Otherwise the script will display a message indicating the parameters values. A sample message is as follows: The following is the specification of the Hadoop services used by the Oozie workflows: {         "Distribution":"HDP",         "DistributionVersion":"2.4",         "TeradataConnectorForHadoopVersion":"1.5.1",         "WebHCatalog":"hostname",         "WebHCatalogPort":50111,         "WebHDFS":"hostname",         "WebHDFSPort":50070,         "JobTracker":"hostname",         "JobTrackerPort":8050,         "NameNode":"hostname",         "NameNodePort":8020,         "NameNodeHA":"fs.defaultFS",         "NameNodeHAConfigured":true,         "Oozie":"hostname",         "OoziePort":11000,         "HiveClientMetastorePort":9083         "HiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal":"hive/_HOST",         "KerberosRealm":"",         "HiveMetaStore":"hostname" } ** You must also make sure the Teradata IDE/Studio client machine can access the Hadoop system services (hostnames and ports provided to configureOozie script). Thus, you may need to add the Hadoop services host names and IP addresses to your host file or DNS service. HORTONWORKS SELF_SIGNED CERTIFICATES: ===================================== The certificate used by the Knox server needs to be added to the Java runtime's certificate store. You can save the certificate with a web browser. For example, with Chrome, you can: •    Enter the Knox server:port in the address bar. It will say that the connection is not private •    Click Advanced, then click on the Proceed to site link •    Click on the lock in the address bar and select Details •    Click View certificate •    Select the Details tab in the resulting dialog and click the Copy to file... button •    In the resulting Certificate Export Wizard, save the certificate as Base-64 encoded (Other browsers have similar methods to get to the Certificate Export Wizard) Alternatively, on the Knox server, run the command:      keytool -export -alias gateway-identity -rfc -file knox.crt -keystore <path to gateway.jks keystore (eg. /usr/lib/knox/data/security/keystore/gateway.jks)> To install the certificate into your Java Runtime certificate store, run the command:      %JDK_HOME%\bin\keytool.exe -importcert -alias "TDH240 Knox self-signed certificate" -file cert_location/<filename>.txt -keystore %JRE_HOME%\lib\security\cacerts Where %JDK_HOME% is an environment variable with the location of a JDK and %JRE_HOME% is the location of the JRE used to run Studio. The keytool.exe will ask for the password to the certificate store. It is “changeit” unless you’ve changed it

The XML Data type, introduced in Teradata 14.10, provides the following new capabilities: •A new XML data type that allows you to store XML content in a compact binary form that preserves the information set of the XML document, including the hierarchy information and type information derived from XML validation •Functions and methods on the XML type that support common XML operations like parsing, validation, transformation (XSLT) and Query (XPath and XQuery) •Supports the XQuery query language for querying and transforming XML content •Supports the following SQL/XML functions and stored procedures:     •XMLDOCUMENT •XMLELEMENT •XMLFOREST •XMLCONCAT •XMLCOMMENT •XMLPI •XMLTEXT •XMLAGG •XMLPARSE •XMLVALIDATE •XMLQUERY •XMLSERIALIZE •XMLTABLE •AS_SHRED_BATCH •XMLPUBLISH •XMLPUBLISH_STREAM Benefits •Removes the requirement to map between hierarchical and relational models prior to storing the XML contents. Previously, this was required when using the XML shredding and publishing functionality in Teradata XML Services. •Provides the ability to preserve document identity. In contrast, the shredding facility that Teradata XML Services supports only extracts the values out of the XML document without retaining the document identity. •Provides a compact method for storing XML content where the internal representation is 5~10 times smaller than the original text representation. •Provides standard query language support for querying XML using XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0. •Provides a more efficient method for parsing, transforming and querying XML content. •Integrates the functionality in the Teradata XML Services offering into Teradata Database using syntax that conforms to the ANSI SQL/XML specification.   Considerations •The XML type accommodates values up to 2GB in size. However, operations like XSLT and XQuery, which load documents into memory, are only supported on documents that are smaller in size, where the processing operation does not require more memory than specified by the XML_MemoryLimit DBS Control field. This field caps the amount of memory available for XML operations so that these operations do not strain memory resources. A pseudo-streaming version of XQuery is allowed on large documents via the XMLEXTRACT method on the XML type. •XML path indexes are not supported. •XML schemas and XSLT stylesheets are not managed by Teradata Database.   Schema and Stylesheet Consolidation Utility The Schema and Stylesheet consolidation utility  is available for download as a zip file on this page. There is one significant change in this utility compared to the user documentation. The user documentation speaks of two executables ConsolidateSchema.exe and ConsolidateStylesheet.exe. In this version of the utility the two have been combined into a single executable csldgen.exe. The Readme.txt file included in the zip file gives more details regarding the need for schema and stylesheet consolidation and how to perform such consolidation. This utility is only relevant if your schemas and stylesheets use imports and includes.

Teradata XML Services provide assistance in database transformation of XML structures to and from relational structures. This is primarily an enterprise fit feature. XML in this context is regarded as a data format that is used to describe incoming or outgoing warehouse data. A key concept for this feature is that we are not transforming to store XML but rather to maintain a relational data model or to integrate relational data into an enterprise XML message structure! The relational data model is bested suited for enterprise analytics. XML structures are best suited for enterprise integration. Teradata XML Services is supported on Database Versions 13, 13.10 and 14. As of Teradata Database version 14.10, much of the XML Services functionality has been implemented as part of the XML data type in the database, and Teradata XML Services as a separate download will not be supported for 14.10 and future versions. Mappings created for XML shredding and publishing can be used for 14.10 as well (except for XSLT shredding),  but the names of the stored procedures will change. Please see the Teradata XML book in the database user documentation for further details. This feature will be delivered asynchronously from any specific Teradata warehouse release. The delivery format will be as a web download, available for each Teradata server platform. The feature is considered a part of the Teradata product and will be supported through normal support channels. Teradata XML Services consists of the following components: Xerces XML parser and Xalan XSLT transformer packaged as a platform specific operating system library. Shredding Framework which consists of a combination of stored procedures and functions. A stored procedure controls the shredding process. When shredding one to a few documents the stored procedure directly invokes the data maintenance DML. When shredding many documents, the stored procedure uses a set-based approach through the invocation of a table generation function. Parallel Publishing Framework which consists of a combination of stored procedures and functions. A stored procedure will control the publishing process. The stored procedure can either return a string representing an XML object type or a SQL statement that represents the XML data stream. The SQL statement can be reused in views, macros, fast export, etc. General purpose XSLT transformation function. Two XPATH search functions, one that returns a scalar character value and one that returns an XML fragment character value. XML schema validation function. XML Schema and Stylesheet loading and dependency resolution. XML schema generation procedures. Perl based installation process.
